Gilgo Beach suspect Rex Heuermann scowls in court as prosecutors detail ‘voluminous’ evidence

They tore apart every room and dug up the backyard, destroying furniture and keepsakes, Ellerup said. Photos show a bathtub with the side cut out and a chunk of tile missing from the floor.

The family returned to the home a few days ago, and Ellerup recalled her daughter saying that she feels"not human" living in the destruction left behind. Clockwise from top left, Amber Lynn Costello, 27, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, Megan Waterman, 22, and Melissa Barthelemy, 24, disappeared after meeting with a client on Craigslist. The remains of the women were found in December 2010 at Gilgo Beach on Long Island.

Ellerup’s lawyer, Bob Macedonio, said,"She meant what they’ve done to them and the family is not even human. They were just complete animals. They treated them like animals."Ellerup added that even though the house is in complete disarray,"It's the only thing I got." She tried to explain the situation to her special-needs son:"He’s so distraught and doesn’t understand, and as a mother, I have no answers for him," Ellerup told the Post.Heuermann pleaded not guilty July 14 and has denied the charges through his lawyer. The murders, dubbed the"Gilgo Four," had long baffled investigators.
